Google is running an international competition “The international Google Model Your Town Competition”, where you can add your town to “Google Earth 3D World – Google SketchUp”. Google is also inviting everyone to use their free tools — SketchUp and Building Maker to design the towns.

Every town that participates has the chance to be included in Google Earth’s 3D Buildings layer where millions of people can see it. The winning town (as decided by a popular vote) will win money for its schools, a Google-sponsored party for its modelers and plenty more.

“Visit the competition website for more information about prizes, judging and rules. You’ll also find a helpful FAQ and a list of steps that should help you get started. The deadline for submission is three months away — it’s not too early to form a team, take pictures and start building.” The international Google Model Your Town Competition
